It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-8991 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel McAfee Security Scan+ (MSS+). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8991/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8991/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8991","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8991/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8991","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7rpp-75px-g4h2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Security Scan+ software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute malicious code during installation or uninstallation of McAfee Security Scan+ by leveraging preexisting crafted malware.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_av","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"security_scan_plus","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"security_webadvisor","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Malicious file execution vulnerability in Intel Security McAfee Security Scan+ (MSS+) before 3.11.266.3 allows attackers to make the product momentarily vulnerable via executing preexisting specifically crafted malware during installation or uninstallation, but not during normal operation.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Other in McAfee Security Scan+ (MSS+)","id":"CVE-2015-8991","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in WebAdvisor","id":"CVE-2015-8992"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Advanced Threat Defense (ATD)","id":"CVE-2015-8990"},"products":["McAfee Security Scan+ (MSS+)"],"published":"2017-03-14","related":[{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Code injection in WebAdvisor","id":"CVE-2015-8992","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Code injection in CloudAV (Beta)","id":"CVE-2015-8993","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["Intel"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute malicious code during installation or uninstallation of McAfee Security Scan+ by leveraging preexisting crafted malware.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8991/"}
